Nope make headers now too. I been thinking of getting a set myself. They are pretty much the same as the Hookers, but with a heavier ga pipe I think.

Flanges are thicker and come with O2 bungs already welded in.

Just so you know, you may have to replace the motor mounts with the Jet-Hot's. It's not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you plan on it being a one-day install.

I just put some JEt Hot coated's one and i can tell a difference. I know someone that dyno'd before and after and there was i believe +25 RWTQ.

Why would you need motor mounts BrainsZ?

Another vote for some hooker's. Maybe get the hooker's that are coated. I have heard to many horror stories about the Jet-Hots install problems. My hookers went right in and they look great and perform awesome!

Thats the story with pretty much any long tube headers. Some people are gonna have a hard time and some have a easy time installing them.

I found this description from November 2003 Super Chevy in the back in the car parts section:

TPIS manufactures the best fitting, best performing long-tube headers for the 93-97 Camaro. Their headers feature 1 3/4 primary tubes, 3in collectors and 2 02 sensor bungs. They also provide adequate ground clearence, even for lowered cars.

I know what Im goin when I go LT!!!!
